I used to get fired up about it until the lawyers on here explained puffery to me.

Very useful. Are those prices in CAD or USD?

In CAD, I believe.

After reading through the discussions about PJT, I wanted to hear everyone's opinions on PJT compared with Oscar Hunt. I've previously gotten a suit from OH before, and overall, price was decent, but fit was lacking. How does PJT compare to OH in terms of pricing, construction and fitters?

Thanks all for the advice on ordering from Spier & Mackay. I now have an order on the way.

I'm now needing to replace my messenger bag due to wear (it cost me less than $50 off eBay about 8 years ago). Requirements below.
-suitable for office wear and business casual
-good shoulder padding in the strap
-able to match any color outfit
-preferably some resistance to rain
-able to carry a notepad, USB cable, a bottle of water and a few stationary items
-preferably under $100, though willing to spend up to $200 for a great quality item.
Recommendations would be much appreciated.

@Topher22 I bought this six years ago,serving me faithfully for both business and pleasure. Versatile and practical however it’s pricey. Mine was cheaper but it will last

Idk about Oscar Hunt. But I've been mostly happy with the fit and construction for PJ. Ive had 3 suits made so far. I saw Pat and Tom for 2 of them and they worked out great after a little alteration (by them). The other 3rd i had measurements taken by some other guy and there was a bit of a disaster with the trousers. They were still wearable after extensive alterations though and they gave me a 50% refund by way of apology without prompting. So i left happy, but would make sure i met with one of their senior guys at least in the future.

Do you want fabric, leather, or you don't mind?

Personally, although it costs more than your budget, I'd strongly consider Filson. They're great, very durable, extremely well made and I suspect the bag will outlive you, or last you until you retire!

You can get it in tan, navy, olive green or black and it comes with a shoulder strap.

Wouldn't mind picking up a pair of their wide leg chinos, could anyone offer some sizing advice?

I thought Filson removed its lifetime warranty due to how popular their bags have become

LL Bean did. The guarantee is straight from their site so I guess not.
